Maybe, but what I actually suspect she will notice is that Tokyo Rose has programs in the system. This will be noticed when attempts to restore from archive backups finishes the jobs that Doc Silver started.
Doc Silver has a lot of drones and she was expecting the hard line to be cut as per her dialog. Wouldn't surprise me if she's got something in place to repair the hard line and stop it from being cut automatically again.
Programs in the system already that don't require her interaction seem unlikely to trump Noctis' abilities, so I think she needs more than that.
As for TR, considering that she's been in for years, it's hard to say what she may have done or not and what may be set to trigger if the network line to the palace is cut entirely. Certainly could be interesting. Additionally TR might have some plants inside the palace set to continue/assist her hacking if external lines get cut off.
the main difference here is that Tokyo rose NEVER let anyone know what she was doing it was all covert.
Doctor Silver is literally nuking them to the ground. just hammer fisting the network into submission its a brute force method that does cover some more subtle things that shes done.
Another difference is Silver is not bothering to "hide" her actions at this point.
I could see Malati doing that to Noctis as a prank. Depending on the affection intended between them, I could see Noctis taking something like that as a tribute to her departed friend.
From the pragmatic side, something happy/fuzzy/friendly on a death dealing part of a Cassian with a generally serious personality can be strategically helpful as a distraction.
The only secure computer is one that is unplugged, with all connectivity, batteries and power sources disconnected, no input devices, locked in a lead box two feet thick on all sides, at the bottom of the sea.
I prefer a few feet of concrete between the system and the lead, and instead of being at the bottom of the sea, it's suspended by a cable in spotlights with a minimum of three teams of two guards 24x7 (one team looking down from above).
This seems like a counter-intuitive system to me. You have to ask the computer to cut the hardline, then the computer asks you if you want to cut the hardline, then you say yes and the computer cuts the hardline. Why not just have an access panel with a pair of wire cutters? Besides: suppose Silver had already breached the system and gained control of the hardline cutter. What then?
Don't misunderstand: I'm all for automation. I love automating things and finding ways to make them easier. But you're not supposed to automate the system that replaces the replacement automated system after the first automated system fails and the automated backup system gets taken down. That's just ridiculous. Also, you don't automate things you don't expect to need. It's fine to have a plan for "just in case", but it's important to have it be reliable and simple, because otherwise it's more likely to fail, and you'll just have to come up with another plan in case it does.
had the automated cut not worked she would have eather A called down via the sub net ( witch seems to still be working ) or gone down there herself and yanked the cables.
In case you have multiple hardlines, you will need to be able to cut all of them at the same time, and that would necessitate a remote controlled system.
Yeah, overuse of a word like that in badly written documents gets to me too. My usual remedy is to seek purification on the other side, by doing things like re-reading the following until it makes sense:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Hmmmm please contact and the photo is of the young lady lying on the ground behind Dr Silver right now. Methinks she just swipes or enters her card to gain access OR she has to wake her up to get the access codes from her.
Now, for some reason, I'm reminded of what it's like when you call tech support because your internet is down, and one of the hold messages is, literally, "Are you having internet problems? Visit our website at www.missingthefuckingpoint.com for help!"
We put those messages up, just to annoy you. It's how we deal with working in costumor service.
Another good one, is when people call in to change the password on their account, you quickly change it and tell them it's been send to their e-mail, and then instantly hang up on them. My boss always tell me that costumors are always happy about the quick service. :)
You do amazingly well for English (or worse still, AMERICAN) not being your primary language. I have enough trouble with it, and it IS my primary (heck ONLY) language. Having said that, you do manage to stumble across some humorous errors sometimes. :-)
How about the second and third time you have to call Microsoft because Windows 10(The OS to end all OS) has popped a critical error again, and you have to run things out of the program folder to get anything done.

Well in this case - shes a Nova Roma girl who really really liked the "Vid" and decided this would be her persona.. or shes Charlottes great great great descendent .. you decide! ( or she snuck over using the D- hop device shes got . )
I like the attention to detail here especially with the reflection off Noctis finger nails =)
And yeah Doc, I totally get how this ladys voice would grate on the nerves. I would be horribly tempted to stun Ms. Foghorn Leghorn into next week, as soon was convenient.
...and also I wonder why everything is in English - If I were those nova romans I would keep everything in lamod - that would make hacking it more difficult...
That actually looks like a grid of the city to me, with the hexes in black being the areas currently in disorder.
Too bad though, I'd bet Noctis would be pretty good at othello! and chess... and I would refuse to sit at a poker table with her, not with THAT poker face.

Unless we are missing an EM drone and it happens to be linking via hard link into the palace?
Also, who did Noctis' nails? I like! Especially the high gloss reflectivity of them! :D

next Scene is Noctis at the door tapping her foot.. the next panel is censored due to the violence that happens next.
(( actually she wouldnt handle it that way . but its funny anyway ))
Bad day on the job for sure today.
also Silver can be a bit of a pain .. and a bit rude :D Shes actually kinda a snob :D

Much frustration will be had.

I'm up for a buffalo barbeque. :D

(I really hate being a spelling nit picker but I just HAD to ask this one for the humor aspect. Sorry.)
Danish is my native tongue, and English is a language I picked up in school some 20 years ago.
I know .. I'm ooooooold. >_<
Besides, I think "Tumor" belongs in that word.
@Sheela: Same for me, pretty much. Only that I'm somewhat further South of you on the other side of Germany.
Awesome cameo!

Poor Charlotte gets no love!
In that vein:
King Arthur: "I say my good man, are you French?"
Rude French Soldier: "Of course I am French, English pig dog, why else would I speak in this rrrrridiculous accent."
HeeHeeHee.:D
...and also I wonder why everything is in English - If I were those nova romans I would keep everything in lamod - that would make hacking it more difficult...
You are so busted, Noctis. Now we know you *do* have a few fun particles floating around in there after all. <grin>
Too bad though, I'd bet Noctis would be pretty good at othello! and chess... and I would refuse to sit at a poker table with her, not with THAT poker face.
